Cousins Hangin Out




Today Penny and I got to go over and hang out with cousin Bailey for a while so that Kirsten could take baby Taylor for her Dr. check up. It is so nice to see the cousins play together and even though Penny doesn't play that well yet Bailey is soooo patient with her and she shares so well with her and Penny just loves it. I also got to have some fun Aunt time with Bailey and we painted her tootsies!!! We did find out the hard way that you can't wear princess shoes too soon after you have polished your toes!! ooppsss!! But we did our best to fix them and they turned out beautiful!!! We had such a nice time!!

Oh how I have longed for COFFEE!!

So I have never been a huge coffee drinker but I am definitely one who really enjoys my 1-2 cups of really yummy coffee each morning and once in a while a cup here or there throughout the day. So, now that I am a mommy one of my jobs is to provide nourishment for my little angel. So, I have been nursing her since she was born and plan to continue until she is at least 1 year old, however there has been quite a list of things that I have had to give up eating and drinking because she has a very sensitive tummy. One of those things was...you guessed it...my delicious coffee. I thought in the beginning it might be the caffeine but decaf didn't work either. Anytime I would drink it she would spend the rest of the day spitting up. Which is not to fun for anyone involved. So bye bye went my coffee. I have tried it here and there throughout these past 8 1/2 months and still no luck. Until......Sunday when I tried again. The funny part was I didn't even realize till the end of the day she hadn't spit up so I have continued to try for the last 4 days and so far so good. I am just about convinced that I can now thoroughly enjoy my coffee again. And the best part is the caffeine doesn't seem to have any affect on her!!! YEAH!! You have noooooooo idea how excited this makes me. I would do anything for that little girl and so far I have but it is awesome when I can enjoy some little treats for me too. I'm sorry Kirsten I'm sure this doesn't make you very happy but hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel and I certainly have put my time in as well!!!! <3

Little Pudgy Feet


I just love these little toes!! So short and pudgy but oh so girly when you add some polish!! All girls need there tootsies to be pretty!!

Penny's Poor Little Mouth

Well she got another tooth through today. Yeah!!! That makes a total of four teeth. Two came through months ago, the third was last week and then the forth today. And to boot she has at least three more that are just barely hiding under her gums and ready to pop through any time now. Our poor little angel!! She is such a trooper she still acts happy as ever. She is a little more fussy and needy at night making it hard to get her down for the night but that is to be expected. She is one tough cookie!!

She Melts Daddy's Heart

Yesterday Penny melted Daddy's heart and broke it at the same time. When he was getting ready to leave for work he handed her off to me and she got upset and started crying for him. (And he says she doesn't know who he is!!) Take that Daddy!! AAAWWWW!!! Daddy's little girl.
